  Got in town tonight for some meetings in the week. Stopped by pho capital to check them out since the reviews seemed strong. Did not disappoint!
  
  I had their beef stew with bread and crispy spring rolls. Spring rolls were good - crispy, came out hot. Beef stew just amazing though. Broth was flavorful but not too complex. Nice and steamy. Beef pieces were plenty and very soft and tender. Very flavorful again from swimming in that yummy broth.
  
  Really enjoyed the meal. Didn't get any pictures sorry. Was too hungry and food was too good - that did it lol.
  
  Staff was nice and decor is alright.

  After running out of places in the South Burnaby and New Westminster area to eat, I've been gradually expanding my range to areas around the Burnaby/Coquitlam border. This area is primarily known for having lots of Korean restaurants but I wasn't really in the mood for Korean so I stopped by Pho Capital.
  
  Like most restaurants in this area, Pho Capital is located in a rather nondescript mini mall. The restaurant wasn't very busy during my visit around noon on a weekday but I'm not sure if things pick up later in the day.
  
  I ordered the #14 Pho Noodle Soup with Eye of Round Steak, Fatty Beef Brisket, Soft Beef Tendon, and Beef Tripe ($8.50 for a small bowl) also known as Pho Tai, Gau, Gan, Sach. Almost immediately after placing my order, the waitress was back at my table with my meal and a plate of bean spouts, basil, lime wedge, and jalapeño slices.
  
  The pho was topped with a couple of pieces of rare beef (something that I look forward to when having pho). Underneath, there were plenty of thinly shaved pieces of brisket and a few pieces of tendon and tripe. The broth was pretty good and I think I'd come back to try some of their other items.
  
  As it turns out, I came back about 4 months later and ordered the Marinated Lemongrass Pork Slices and Fried Spring Roll with Veggies ($11.75) or Bun Thit Nurong, Cha Gio. The crispy spring roll was made with a wonton wrapper and the bowl was fairly big (with lots of shredded cabbage underneath). By itself, it lacked a bit of flavour but it was easy enough to kick things up a notch with the tableside sauces.
  
  As with my last noodle soup here, the Bun Bo Hue ($10.99 for large) which I ordered at the end of the year, came out really quick. Interestingly, while I was hit with the aroma of this soup as soon as it arrived at my table, it wasn't overly spicy and I resorted to the table sauces to kick it up a notch. In the bowl, there's thin slices of ham, well-done flank, and chunks of chicken balls. The thick, rounded noodles were pretty good and had a nice chew to the bite.
  
  On my last visit, I decided to opt for the Marinated Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Pork Chop on Rice ($12.75) which I found to be okay but a bit dry. Similar to lemongrass pork, there was a lack of flavour which required the use of the tableside sauces.
  
  Overall, a fairly no-nonsense Vietnamese establishment with somewhat muted flavours. Note: they only accept cash or debit.

  Ordered three items delivery. Two of the three came. They didn't send my coffee, the most important item.
  The Ho Fun was okay, however SWIMMING in oil, and the seafood option I paid extra for included: 2 mussel, one shrimp, and two pieces of squid/cuttlefish. I should have done the chicken or beef.
  The spring rolls were fine, at least.

  Decent Pho in the North Road area.
  
  Parking is available in the strip mall lot.
  
  The inside is fairly modern. Looks like a family run place though I can't say for sure. Staff are friendly.
  
  The seafood pho had good broth, and contained prawns and strips of fake crab. Portions are a bit smaller than the competition. Hit the spot though.
